Games
Snow shoe relay – 2 paper plates and staple ribbon around them. They are their “snow shoes” and the children have to shuffle across the floor in them. For older kids, you don’t even need to put straps on the plates…they will have to skate across the floor.
Make a “north pole” out of an empty wrapping paper role and white and red streamers. Stand it up by taping it to a sports cone. The children have to “snow shoe” around the north pole and back.
Try “dizzy pole” – children spin around the pole 5 times and then have to go pick up a pair of mittens (or any other item) and drop them into a laundry basket (or bucket).
Make a snowman. Use foam or construction paper. Cut out a generic snowman shape (enough for each team) Cut out mittens, scarf, hat, carrot nose (if need more do a broom, coal for the eyes and mouth, buttons, boots). Bury these items in a box filled with cotton and have teams find one item at a time and run across the room and stick it to their snowman. Use fun tac. 1st team to find all the items and complete their snowman wins
Crafts
Make your own snowflake frame – white paper plate cut into an octagon & hole cut out in the middle (optional for a picture). Put a plate of white school glue in the middle of the table with popsicle sticks or tongue depressors. Have the children dribble glue all over their paper plates & then sprinkle glitter all over the snowflake and dump off the excess. Let dry and hang with silver ribbon. Tape picture in the middle if you have access to a digital camera and photo printer.
Glitter star mobiles – cut out star shapes or purchase wooden stars from your local craft store. Provide glitter pens, glue, glitter and allow participants to decorate as many stars as they want. Attach these stars to a hanger at all different lengths of string.
Cotton Ball Fun – great for younger children. Have them dip cotton balls into glue and put them on a cutout of a snowman. Decorate with felt hat/gloves/scarves.
Cookie Cutter Paint – use white paint on black paper and use old cookie cutters and/or sponges
